Pete may have waffled on picking just one title, but he did drop <i>Gangs of New York</i> in there, which shows that at least he has some taste in singling out of of Scorcese&#39;s oft-forgotten masterpieces.Wretched Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691397733214664019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-30939307478521923162020-01-12T08:14:43.068-06:002020-01-12T08:14:43.068-06:00Great list!

You turned me on to Gimme the Loot, for which I am profoundly grateful; unfortunately, when I rewatched it to consider it for my best of the decade, it had lost a little something for me. Thanks for reminding me of Oslo, a truly transformative experience (and yet it will also not make my shortlist). I love how idiosyncratic these things are, as I expect only one or two of the movies that will make my top ten to be something that almost anyone else would pick as the best of the decade. Then again, given that we had something like 3,000 movies to choose from, I suspect any crossover would be the exception rather than the rule.<br /><br />Keeping make those lists, my friend, even if you don&#39;t order them.

For now I share two movies with you in my own top ten, including your #1, though there are also three films I have yet to see (and may not get to, those being Blinded by the Light, Colewell and Transit). My top 146 (or thereabouts) will be posted next Monday. <br /><br />When I am not making dinner for my kids I am eager to read your Her Smell piece.<br /><br />It took me two viewings to decide I really like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and I suspect my affection for it will grown further in the future. For now I have only salvaged it from the bottom of my list to the top 30, which is good, considering that I will end up having close to those aforementioned 150 titles.<br /><br />Marriage Story will make my top 20, but I&#39;ve decided the imbalance in perspectives between the two characters is enough for me not to love it more. But it is indeed a major comeback for Baumbach, though I know you don&#39;t think he needed it. (I haven&#39;t really loved a Baumbach film since Frances Ha.)<br /><br />New Year&#39;s resolution: To read more Cinema Romantico in 2020. And in the short term, to read your best of the decade list, a thing that will also be coming from me next week.

That&#39;s because MTV had the video for Rod Stewart&#39;s &quot;Love Touch&quot; on high rotation through 1986. Uggghhhh.
